Cat Sitting Genesee

“I highly recommend Sora for drop in visits. Our cats were well cared for, and the updates gave us total peace of mind. We will absolutely book again.”

“Melina was attentive, experienced and accommodating. She even cleaned up after our cat after she vomited a mouse up onto the carpeted stairs. That is going above and beyond... we are forever grateful!”

About: Your dog gets a half-acre fenced yard on two acres, and a gate that opens straight onto open space and trail. No loading up in a car to find a walk, we step out the door and go. For a big dog with a real engine, that’s the whole difference. I have two labs of my own, a male and a female, both social and easy, so your dog has company and a pack to fall into rather than a crate and a quiet house. I’ve been boarding for friends and neighbors for 10, and I know what a bored 70-pound dog does to a living room, which is why exercise comes first here, not as a bonus. Good fit for: large breeds, working and sporting dogs, adolescents with too much energy, dogs who don’t do well kenneled. Not a good fit for: dogs who can’t be around other dogs, or who need to be kept separate. I’d rather say that up front than have anyone spend a bad weekend. I also offer dog walking and drop-in visits for locals who’d rather keep their dog at home. Same approach, a walk here means actual miles on real terrain, not fifteen minutes on pavement. Daily photos and a note, usually from somewhere on the trail. I work from home, so dogs aren’t alone for long stretches, I’m here through the day and the routine is built around that. Mornings start with a walk on the trail behind the house before I sit down to work. I leave the doors open so that dogs are able to go in and out of the fenced yard through the day while I’m at my desk, with a midday break for a longer outing. Late afternoon is the real hike, when my two labs go out and your dog goes with them. Evenings are quiet, everyone’s tired by then, which is the point. I do take calls during the day, so there are stretches where I’m at my desk rather than actively playing, but the dogs are with me, not shut away. Weekends are more of the same with longer hikes and no calls Containment: My yard is a half-acre fully fenced, on two acres backing to open space. Gates stay latched and I check them before any dog goes out. Dogs are never off-leash on the open space unless the owner has confirmed reliable recall and I’ve seen it myself on a long line first, otherwise we hike on leash, every time. In the house: Dogs are loose in the main living area with me and my two labs, not confined to a garage or basement. I have crates available if your dog is crate-trained or you’d prefer it, and I’m happy to keep whatever routine they already have. New dogs and mine are introduced outside on neutral ground before anyone comes in the house. Requirements: Up to date on rabies, distemper/parvo, and bordetella. I ask for your vet’s contact and a backup person who can make decisions if I can’t reach you. Wildlife: We’re in the foothills, so coyotes, bears, and mountain lions are part of the landscape. Dogs go out into the fenced yard supervised, not unattended, and I don’t leave food or water bowls outside. Nobody is out in the yard alone at dawn or dusk. If something goes wrong: I’ll call you first, but I won’t wait on a callback to get a dog treated. My work is in wildfire and emergency planning, so I keep an evacuation plan for my own dogs including crates, leashes, records, and a go-bag ready and any boarding dog is included in it if there is an emergency.

About: I’ve had a lifetime of hands-on experience combined with the energy to provide structured, high-energy exercise for active dogs. Growing up with pets gave me a natural intuition for canine behavior, and I specifically gained valuable experience helping raise and train our family dog from a young puppy in high school, giving me a strong foundation in patience and consistency. Whether your pet needs a high-mileage workout or strict adherence to a precise training and feeding routine, I pride myself on delivering dedicated, reliable care that keeps your dog safe, happy, and thriving. As a student and athlete, my days are highly structured, which actually gives me great, predictable blocks of time for pet care. I train early and manage my own study hours, leaving me with plenty of flexibility throughout the day and evening to focus entirely on your pet. Because of my schedule, I'm incredibly used to sticking to precise routines, so your pet's feeding times and walks will always be right on time. Taking care of pets fits perfectly into my active lifestyle, and I love using my breaks to give them the dedicated attention and exercise they need. I have a spacious house and a nice grass yard for your dog to play. There are no other pets in the house so no need to worry about fights.

About: I have a biology background with 10 years experience In the zoo industry as well as 30 years owning and training my own dogs. My goal is providing a positive experience for both my clients and their loved pets. Your dog is as big part of you family and who you trust them with is very important. It's a great honor to know that my clients trust me with their beloved family members. I also have a love for the outdoors and exercise ( hiking and long walks ) have become a big part of life for and I long when I can bring a new friend with me. I want to be your "go to guy" when you need a little help with your furry friend. Thank you I have a very flexible schedule offering around the clock care and i truly cater to my client's needs making ever day a special one for your furry friend.

“Charlotte was a most excellent caregiver from start to finish for my elderly cat. She came by for a meet & greet with us before I went out of town which put me and my cat Dude at ease. During her check-ins she provided awesome updates and photos which I greatly appreciated & enjoyed. We will definitely reach out to her again. Highly recommend this sitter for your pets needs.”

About: I’ve grown up with and have had 4 Great Danes throughout my life! I also regularly dog sit for a family friend, which includes an anxious dog with a specific diet, specific feeding times and medications! I’m currently working part time mornings, and will be available for overnight boarding at my home throughout the week! I provide a calm, homey environment and will plan my schedule around potty breaks, meals, and quality time. My boyfriend is the other occupant of our home! I live in an apartment complex with a park and trail directly across the street. My home is very quiet and calm, and I can be with them all day!

“Destiny was lovely! My cat seemed happy and comfortable. Destiny spoiled her, sent great pictures and updates, and I’d be happy to book her again!”

About: I have been a caregiver to animals and humans for most of my life. Living with, loving on, and caring for animals fills up my emotional bucket. Providing pet care allows me the opportunity to keep my emotional bucket full, support my entrepreneurial dreams, while bringing in income for my family and maintaining a good work/home life balance. While caring for your pets, you can expect professionalism, honesty, and integrity from me. I will check in with you as often as you’d like, and will follow all instructions.

“Our cat is a very needy guy, and Gabriella was able to give him lots of much needed love while we were out of town! Fantastic communication and updates, highly recommend!”

Anna C.

“Another fantastic experience with Nick and Kamila. This is the second time we've booked with them and we will absolutely book with them again. They gave our kitties the best care, gave us tons of updates, and we're super responsive. Great pet sitters!”

About: From a young age, I have loved dogs. My California cousins bred Afghans, and I absolutely adored being around all the puppies and dogs. I am comfortable with all breeds. Growing up, I had a Royal Standard Poodle and an English Setter. As an adult, we have had labs. My husband and I trained our labs and I will be happy to provide consistent training if you wish. I am well aware of the crazy energy active dogs have and know how to provide activities to keep them happy. I am an avid hiker and can provide whatever your dogs need for fun and exercise. And truly, if they just want companionship, I love reading with a dog happily snoring. As a retired teacher, I have tons of flexibility. I do also think pets have their own routine, so my flexibility gives allowance for adapting to the dog's needs. Pets will have the ability to access our backyard and not stress about being lonely. Based on the dog and owner, I am able to accommodate to the pet's needs. I can walk/hike with those that need exercise. I am home much of the day as well. I have a large, fenced in backyard as well

About: I have been pet sitting on and off for the past 20 years. I do have two cats but I can separate them away from pet. I am good with all types of different pets. I am home during the day and so I will be able to spend a lot of time with your pet. I have time to walk and play with dogs and spend time with cats. I have a large yard just outside my home where the pet can play. I live in a quiet area so the animals will not be disturbed.

“Chloe was AMAZING! She sent me photos and updates everyday. I came home to a happy cat with clean litter, full food/water bowls. Thank you Chloe!”

About: I grew up with veterinarians for parents and was always in and out of their clinic and over the years I've learned so much about pet health especially for dogs and cats, I love all animals and Im really looking forward to keeping your pets happy and healthy with plenty of love and safety. You'll never have to worry whether you baby is safe when Im watching them or walking them, I will be very careful, safe, nice and most of all make sure you pet is happy and HYDRATED, with plenty of approved treats. Your pet will be of my number one priority and will get the best care if I am chosen to watch them, hope you pick me, cant wait to meet your pets!! Im a senior at Colorado School of Mines so I have many gaps in my day & available to do multiple visits a day if needed! I do not offer pet sitting within my own home, but I am very respectful when in the homes of others. I have been pet sitting and baby sitting for many years.
